No reason anymore, Hellekin just corrected me. But I am assuming that a single dynhttpd front-end could serve multiple sites, so the number of IPs available to run the front-ends is the issue. If they run as p2p, where you front for someone else (since you have a routable IP), then you still end up with far fewer front-ends than back-ends, and old-style SSL needs a 1:1 mapping of IPs to domains. Looks like with Server Name Indication, this isn't a problem, so yay! -- Bjarni Rúnar Einarsson [email protected] http://bre.klaki.net/ Use http://bre.klaki.net/bre/contact.shtml to bypass my spam filters. .oOo.oOo.
